1. What is Cost per Roll?

The cost per roll calculation helps you determine the price of individual toilet paper rolls when purchased in bulk or multi-roll packages. This allows for accurate price comparisons between different package sizes and brands.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Total Cost — Price paid for the entire package (in dollars)
• Number of Rolls — Total quantity of rolls in the package

Explanation: This calculation gives you the unit price for each individual roll, making it easier to compare different package options.

3. Importance of Price Comparison

Details: Calculating cost per roll helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions, as toilet paper is often sold in packages with different roll counts and prices. The larger package isn't always the better deal.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total price you paid for the package and the number of rolls it contains. The calculator will instantly show you the price per individual roll.
